    When clicking on the Edit button (at the top of the page) to edit a previous review, would it be possible to also display the date that your previous review was submitted? As an example, I was going to review Summerfest but I had previously reviewed it - when I clicked on Edit, it showed the content but I had no idea how old the review was without finding the review and looking at the date. Thanks for considering it!

    It changes the date from the original? I didn't know that.

    Edit: When I change a rating to a full review, the date remains the same.

    Never mind.

    I don't know since I didn't actually edit my review. But I was wondering when I had posted the original review and it would have been nice to just have that date displayed along with the content of the review when I clicked on Edit. Turns out I'd reviewed the beer back in 2006.

    When I click on edit on a previous review, when I scroll down, it shows my review and the date...

    Second that. When you go to edit just scroll down and you should see your original date.
    Cheers

    Just tried it with FireFox and IE, shows me the review text but no date.

    If I search for a beer, in this case Summerfest, it shows my rating since I reviewed it previously.

    If I click the Edit button on the left, it loads my review but no date is shown. If I actually find my review then I can see the date it was posted. I must be missing something here, is there a quick way to go directly to your previous reviews without scrolling though all the other reviews to find it?

    Ok, I just figured out how to get to my previous reviews but it would still be nice when I search for a beer, notice that I've reviewed it and click Edit and the date of the review is shown vs having to search for the review itself.

    There's nothing under the edit review area?

    If you click the "View" hyperlink next to the "Your Rating" when you've searched a beer it shows your original and then you can edit and scroll.

    Weird. I opened Firefox on my Android and I can scroll down to see my review and date after clicking on Edit.

    What device are you using?
